RESEARCH QUALITY (Complete University Guide 2023)
A deep academic understanding of life on Earth is now more important than ever. Studying living organisms in all their epic variety helps us to identify critical threats and major opportunities, from the smallest scale to the biggest. This three-year biology degree gives you the flexibility to explore natural life wherever your interests lie.
Foundation Year available – see pages 58-63 for full details Global Opportunities available † Work Placement or Internship Opportunities available International Students foundation programme available Welsh Scholarships/Bursaries available
Local, residential and international field courses allow you to work in varied habitats. You can explore the spectacular marine coastal ecosystems, freshwater environments and terrestrial habitats of the Gower Peninsula on our doorstep. You will benefit from excellent teaching facilities for ecological, physiological and molecular studies. These include the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research, a zoology museum, a custom-designed 18-metre research vessel, and a unique visualisation suite that displays multi-dimensional information from animal tracking data. In your final year, you will complete a research project which may be field-based, laboratory-based or purely analytical.
